LaMalfa, Hall will face off in November

Incumbent Congressman Doug LaMalfa, R-Richvale, will face off against Heidi Hall in the November election.

LaMalfa, a Republican, had 53.1 percent of total votes to lead the field of four. Under state election law for state and federal office, the top two advance to the November general election even if one candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote.

Hall finished with 30.4 percent of the vote. She is a Democrat who has worked for the Environmental Protection Agency and State Water Resources Control Board.

Gregory Cheadle, a real estate broker, former public defender intern and emergency room volunteer, received 9.7 percent. Dan Levine, an advocate for legalizing marijuana and outspoken against fracking, received 6.7 percent.

During the campaign, Hall said she would like to see comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship, and an expanded guest worker visa program.

She would like to see tax benefits for companies that reduce emissions and believes groundwater protection is needed.

On tax issues, Hall said the country needs reform to give middle-class families a break and for the "richest companies and individuals to pay their fair share." She also advocates campaign finance reform.

She sees problems in the Affordable Care Act, but believes the federal government should push ahead.

She was also critical of LaMalfa for voting to cut food stamp funding while preserving crop subsidies to farmers.
